The cobs weigh 5.4, 5.8, 6.5 grams, respectively.
Would appreciate any help!

All peninsular Spain by style, early-mid 1600s... all sort of presenting as 2 Reales pieces by size, but two or perhaps all three with asterisks:

-- Piece #1 has clearly been cut down... most likely from a 4R

-- Piece #2 is a contemporary counterfeit - fabulously crude shield and nonsense mark to it's right! It may have been intended as 2R as made... or perhaps, again, could be a cut-down 4R

-- Piece #3 looks to be a 2R as made, 1650s-60s by style, probably Seville. Similar look to a lot of dark salvage pieces of that particular style that you see on the market.

Thank you, Mr. Pillar of the community RealesWatcher!

I do appreciate your insights. and very much agree with piece 2. It all makes sense now
